NTS Camp and Protect Young Eyes Team Up!

NTS CAMP IS ABOUT TO BEGIN!

Question: Does your kid love his/her technology? If so, then please keep reading!

In just a few short weeks, the first of seven 2018 NTS Camps will kick-off its summer tour.  High school and middle school students from around the country will soon be engulfed in team comps, amazing worship and teaching, and non-stop engagement with each other and the Spirit of God.

This blog post is written specifically so that your kids and their technology are prepared for an amazing NTS Camp experience.

Since our inception in 2015, the mission of Protect Young Eyes has been to help busy, concerned parents and hyper-connected kids use their technology responsibly. We do this through:

And, as we speak to parents and to kids across the country, we are constantly challenging all to ask themselves, “do I control my device, or does it control me?”

But, what about the iPhone or the new Galaxy that’s in their pocket while they’re at camp? Does it pose a risk?

Maybe your kid brings a smartphone so that they can keep in touch with you. That’s great, but let me give you a few additional items to consider:

When Jesus sent out the 72, He told them “I am sending you like lambs among wolves. Carry no money bag, no sack, no sandals; and greet no one along the way” (Luke 10:3-4). Jesus wants them to have as little distraction as possible as they go out to witness to Him and His kingdom.

While your teens will surely be packing a bag and bringing money, we are asking for your assistance in limiting distractions on this trip—particularly by addressing the distractions presented by technology.

NTS Camp has been preparing for camp for many, many months and they will do everything in their power to ensure your teens are protected from inappropriate content and excessive use of technology while under their care. But, they know that some of the best prep happens at home. Protect Young Eyes is here to help parents prep their kids and their technology for an amazing week.

We love what Jeff Eckart and the NTS Camp team are doing to point kids toward Jesus! We’re honored to be working with them. If you have specific questions about how to protect the young eyes in your home, please reach out to us at chrism@protectyoungeyes.com.
